Upgrade StorageCollapsed In Text Citations - Changing en-dash to hyphen
Is it possible to change the en-dash to hyphen for collapsed citations.
i.e. instead of 1–7, it would b 1-7.
We are writing a funding application with strict world limits and en-dashes make the citation 2 words while hyphens keep it to 1 word.
If it cant be done, we will just convert them after we create the biliography.
Thanks!

But generally you would either add a "locale" section between the info section and the first macro like this (assuming you're using a style in English):
<locale xml:lang="en">
<terms>
<term name="page-range-delimiter">-</term>
</terms>
</locale>
Or if there is already one you just add the line starting with "term name..." to the locale section.

I am using the APA Numeric reference type as built by @bwiernik (If you read this - thanks for this CSL it was exactly what I needed!) here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bwiernik/zotero-tools/master/apa-numeric.csl
As there was already the "locale" "en" section in there, I added in the
<term name="page-range-delimiter">-</term>line but unfortunately, this does not change the way in which the in-text citations are collapsed (i.e. its still printing them as Smith(1–7) (with en-dash), rather than Smith(1-7) (with hyphen)).
Does that line only change the page ranges in the bibliography or should it have an effect on the in-text citations?
Thanks again for any assistance.
